I've Noticed a lot of talk about the New V40 T5 AWD , Plus the only version T4 coming with 6 speed .
Yet No One has mentioned , at least it's being reported that the New T12 - is Direct Injection ?
I thought Volvo wasn't going to do this ?
I also took Note - that there is a Change in the Motor from 2521cc to 2497cc - all of which
has been changed with a Reduction of 1mm in Stroke . If this indeed Fact : It has Implications .
1. A New Rod 1 mm shorter for the T3-T7 Crowd to lower the Compression a Tad on Budget ?
2. Interesting Torque Band goes from 1500-5000 - to - 1800 - 4200 - ? Even Thou 9.5:1 vs Old 9.1 . .
read ( A Bit of De-Stroking ) .
3. How did Volvo Engine Designers get the 9.5-1 then all in the Pistons or the Head ?
ps: 2012 T5 S60 is Rated @ 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine that delivers a total of - 250HP and 266 lb-ft of torque
The New V40 is 250 HP & 295 Tq . - both rated at Over Boost .
